Prestige items are just fancy skins for your guns and transport. The can look either cool as fuck or garish and tacky, depending on your aesthetic choice. Eitherway, they won’t improve the efficiency of the weapon or vehicle. Go faster stars and stripe do not make you go fast. These are purely cosmetic only.

You can buy Prestige weapons using the dollars you’ve earned in-game; for completing story and side missions, and found in Prepper Stashes, on bodies and hidden in other locations. They unlock as you play through the game, so are not all available immediately.

You can also buy them using Silver, which you pay for using real money. Prices of Prestige items range between 200 and 500 Silver. The cheapest price is £3.99/$4.99 for 500 Silver but the options rise to £39.99/$49.99 for 7250 Silver.

You can buy all of these items either from the shops on the Far Cry 5 world map, or navigating to the Store tab in the main menu.
